Freedom to Fail
On Freedom to Fail, Kyle Bringhurst interviews successful entrepreneurs and people about the unsuccessful times in their lives. This podcast was inspired by entrepreneurs who are not afraid to acknowledge that success only comes after overcoming fears and learning from our failures. Freedom to Fail is for those who have dreams of starting a business or reaching your goals but have been held back by their fears. It was created to give YOU an inside look into these failures and learn the skills they use to move forward in the face of uncertainty, so that YOU can do the same.

Brent Beck has always loved games. In fact, he proposed to his wife during a game of Scrabble. This love of games and creativity led him and his wife to start a business, Grandpa Beck's Games, and create games such as Cover Your Assets and Skull King. These games are some of my favorites that I had been playing well before meeting Brent, and their popularity is one of the reasons Brent and his family have done well with their business.
Yet he has chosen a very uncommon path. Grandpa Beck's Games has been around for over 10 years, but he's only recently been working on it full-time. Because he just retired from being a pilot! So at the time when most people plan on taking golf vacations or moving somewhere warm (my lifelong dream), Brent is now spending more time than ever to continue growing his company.
Luckily, they have been able to build a successful company and create thousands of avid fans by their personal touch. In an industry dominated by Mattel and Hasbro, they have managed to stand out by naming the company after their family, having Brent's face on each box, as well as including their actual phone number on each box where families can reach out to them and give them their thoughts about the games.
